today

is international pineapple day
I had an OK day, turned compost
did dishes, made meatballs
wrote a few emails, found out 
about a poetry competition
for Dorothea Mackellar, who wrote
a poem called Colours that features
the evil Darling pea
a native that poisons livestock
a la locoweed in the States.
People in the 19th century
equated themselves to sheep
so if you went off the deep end
you'd be said to have a touch
of the Darling pea
but that phrase went out of favour
before the second world war
from what I can tell in Trove

recent corro

 

I got an email today from colostomy bag.

an email from a friend

And I got one from bad eyes.

an email from another friend

What strange names they have. 

Someone called yellow nails also wrote to me, as did tinnitus killer. Who are these people? Pain relief sent me a message, as did your dizziness, and your pee. Your pee sent me an email. Hi Your pee, how you doing? How's it going Secret Video. What's been happening Hidden Ear Condition.

I had a dream about Jason Dunstall last night. He had just won the grand final and wasn't wearing any shorts. He had a soft toy over his penis. The soft toy flew off, his penis was huge and droopy like a carpet snake. That was why he won the Grand Final, because he had such a big penis.

Bad eyes would be good name for a dodgy character, as would yellow nails. Yellow nails and bad eyes drift into town, drifters, donogooders. I just checked my nails, they're not yellow. They've got crinkles on them though, a sign of something, a deficiency, maybe vitamin K. 

My eyesight isn't much chop. I met somebody called Stop Squinting the other day. He wants to help me.

Hello, what's your name?
Stop Squinting.
That's a nice name. 
Here's my card.
I can't read it. 

They're like prank callers. Amanda Hugginkiss, or Isyourfridgerunning. But there's no pun, there's no gag.

[Ring ring]
Hello? 
[Hacking cough]
Who's this?
Bad eyes.
Whatchuwant?
I'm looking for yellow nails.
Yellow nails ain't here.

I imagine them as men. Men with weird names. Men who send me messages. Messages I mustn't open. They want to steal from me. Tinnitus killer and Pain Relief. Scammers, criminals, they want my credit card details, they want my identity. They want me to open their messages. There's a knock at the door. Who is it? Yellow nails. I'm not opening the door. Don't let them in. They come at night. Bang bang bang. Who is it? Bad eyes.
